John Wootton (c.1682-1764) A bay Arabian stallion being led by a groom, a hound nearby, with a rider and grey horse watering on the far rightsigned indistinctly lower centre left 'J W...'oil on canvas65 x 116cmProvenance:Acquired by Algernon Dunn Gardner (1853-1929) from Fores of Piccadilly on 18th July 1913, as of 'The Darley Arabian',Thence by descentThough much later prints after the present painting identify the horse as the Darley Arabian and show the animal as having three white socks and a white blaze, recent cleaning and conservation showed two of the socks to be overpaint and the blaze was reduced to a star and thus in the opinion of David Oldrey, to whom we are grateful for assistance with this catalogue entry, the horse cannot be the great Arab stallion, the Darley Arabian. He proposes as an alternative bloodline that of the Leedes Arabian, which was a bay with a rear left white sock as was his son, Leeds (or Leedes) and thus the present animal which from the clothes of the accompanying figures must date from at least circa 1730, or later, is probably the grandson or great-grandson of the Leeds Arabian.Oil on canvas which has been lined. The canvas tension is good and the picture is in plane. The painting has a prominent network of age cracks, more noticeable in the sky where they have darkened with age. The paint layer is stable overall. There is some wear and abrasion to the paint layer. Areas of retouching are not extensive and are well matched to the original. The varnish is semi-matte and even with a light layer of dust across the surface. The frame is in a good condition.

Circle of Francis Hayman (1708-1776) Portrait of a lady in a white silk dress with blue bow and blue cloak, a string of pearls in her hair, in a painted ovaloil on canvas, in a carved and giltwood frame74 x 62cmProvenance:Presumably by descent within the Jackson family to Elizabeth Jackson, who married Thomas Berney of Bracon,Thence by descent to the present ownerThe sitter by family tradition was Grace Jackson (née Goldstone, c.1750-1798), later Lady Duckett, daughter and heir of London merchant, Gwyn Goldstone of Goldstone, Shropshire, and his wife Grace Duckett.

He was a vocal opponent of the slave trade and an advocate for reform in criminal law. In 1806, he was offered the post of Solicitor General although he had never sat in the House of Commons. He accepted and was subsequently knighted and brought into Parliament for Queenborough. In 1810, he successfully introduced a bill that abolished the death penalty for pickpocketing, housebreaking, and other trivial offences. He also helped to establish the principle that criminal defendants were innocent until proven guilty and introduced several bills which abolished cruel and unusual punishments, such as flogging and branding. Romilly's work paved the way for further legal reform in the 19th century. Tragically, in 1818, on hearing the news of the death of his wife, he committed suicide at the age of 61.The original by Sir Thomas Lawrence, dated to 1806-1810, is in the National Portrait Gallery London, inv. no.

An English porcelain tea bowl and saucer, inscribed in gilt Sir Francis Burdett MP, within gilt line bordersthe saucer 13.5cm diameterProvenance: From the estate of the late Barry Lock (1934-2021)The son of the Baronet of Foremark (1743–1794), Sir Francis Burdett was born in January 1770, near Repton, Derbyshire and is today remembered as a vociferous champion of reform and free speech and a passionate opponent of political corruption. Burdett’s independent nature was evident in his early years, when he was expelled from Westminster School. After his education at Christ Church, Oxford, and after travelling to France where he witnessed, first-hand, the early days of the French Revolution, Burdett entered Parliament in 1796, where he would continue to affect seismic and profound changes to British law and culture.Upon entering Parliament, Burdett was vocal and forthright in his opposition to William Pitt the Younger and as an advocate of popular rights. In addition to other causes, Burdett condemned the war in France, the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act and, in his maiden speech, accused the government of ‘oppression of an enslaved and impoverished people’. As such, Burdett rapidly became a hugely popular figure amongst the electorate.In 1810, Burdett published a series of pamphlets in support of John Gale Jones - a radical orator who had been imprisoned at Newgate for his public censuring of the government’s decision to exclude members of the press from Parliament. A warrant was soon issued for Burdett’s immediate arrest and, following a two-day standoff in which Burdett barred himself into his home, he was publicly arrested by a military cavalcade. Perhaps, unsurprisingly, public support for both Burdett and political reform, more generally, tumefied and a spate of 'Burdett and Liberty' erupted across London. The present lot is one of a number of wares that were produced around the time of Burdett’s arrest and demonstrate the widespread public support for his cause. After his release, Burdett continued to champion a number of popular causes, though his popularity never recovered to the heights of that which he achieved during the time of his arrest. Following the death of his wife, Sophia Coutts, the second daughter of the wealthy banker Thomas Coutts, the inconsolable Burdett refused all food and died just ten days later.Slight light crazing in palces, saucer with a faint hairline crack to rim
